How to choose socks?

People with dry feet should not wear socks with good moisture absorption. Such as wool socks, cotton socks and so on. This is because wearing cotton socks with good moisture absorption will absorb the moisture inside the skin, which will aggravate the dryness of the skin and make the dryness more serious.

Compared with wool socks and cotton socks, nylon stockings are less hygroscopic. For people with cracked feet, nylon stockings are more suitable because they can keep the feet moist and help relieve dryness and cracking of the skin on the feet. In addition, chemical fiber socks such as nylon are soft and durable, and will make people feel warm and comfortable when worn on the feet. However, chemical fiber socks are easy to get dirty, and they have an unpleasant smell after wearing them for a long time. Therefore, those with chapped feet should change and wash them in time when wearing chemical fiber socks.

Of course, wearing socks only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. How should people pay attention to and prevent people who are prone to dry and cracked feet in their daily lives?
